Product Overview

The IC693CPU323 is a highly integrated control solution for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 line. Unlike modular CPUs that occupy a slot, this "Turbo CPU" is built directly into the 10-slot baseplate. This hardware design maximizes available space for I/O modules while providing a 10 MHz 80188 processor. It serves as the master controller for standalone systems requiring high-speed boolean execution and a large number of local I/O points. We guarantee this unit is 100% brand new and factory original.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Space-Efficient Integrated Design:
  The CPU resides on the baseplate backplane. This architectural choice frees up the first slot of the 10-slot rack, allowing you to install an additional I/O or communication module that would otherwise be occupied by a standalone CPU.

• Optimized Turbo Performance:
  The 10 MHz processor delivers a rapid scan rate of 0.6 ms per 1K of logic. This "Turbo" speed ensures the controller handles high-frequency machine cycles and rapid sensor transitions with minimal jitter.

• Versatile Memory Options:
  The module utilizes RAM for active logic execution. It also supports optional EPROM or EEPROM chips for permanent program storage, protecting your application against data loss during long-term power outages or battery failures.

• Robust Thermal Management:
  The hardware operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 60°C. This durability allows for installation in compact, non-ventilated control cabinets typical of rugged industrial environments.

FAQs

Can I expand this system with additional racks?

No, the IC693CPU323 supports only one baseplate per system. If your application grows and requires more than 10 slots or expansion racks, you must upgrade to a modular CPU (such as the CPU331 or higher).

How do I back up the program on an IC693CPU323?

The system relies on a battery located in the power supply module to maintain RAM. For permanent backup without a battery, you can install a non-volatile EEPROM or EPROM chip into the designated socket on the baseplate.

Is this CPU compatible with all Series 90-30 modules?

The IC693CPU323 supports most standard discrete and analog I/O modules. However, certain high-function modules or specialized communication processors may require a modular CPU with higher firmware versions or expanded memory.

What software do I use for programming?

This unit is compatible with Logicmaster 90-30, VersaPro, and Proficy Machine Edition. The software treats the integrated CPU as the system master during hardware configuration.
